Skyler and his mate had enough time to chat and enjoy each other's company until evening when it was time for dinner at Lucas residence Skyler had instructed someone to buy Clara a dress since she didn't have anything else to wear. Clara stood In front of the mirror and looked at her reflection. She was looking better now and the bruises had almost faded away. The pink off shoulder dress matched well with her pale skin and silky black hair made her look younger. She looked very pretty and she was satisfied with the dress."Aliyah has a good taste," she said.Hmm" was all Skyler said before making his way to where she was standing and hugging her from behind, engulfing her petite figure in his arms, placing both his hands on her waist and buried his face on the crook of her neck, taking in her sweet scent. She felt his hot breath on her neck and sighed to his touch. His warmth is one of the things Clara liked about her mate, the tiny sparks and tingling that came from his touch gave he
Clara and her mate slept beautifully in each other's arms, Clara woke up to the warmth that surrounded her entire being, feeling Skyler arms around her waist and his hot breath on her back. She turned to face him, seeing those silver eyes looking more metallic and beautiful, Clara smiled and touched Skyler's face. " Good morning, princess" Skyler's hoarse voice made its way to her eyes."Morning" she smiled back at him.Skyler drew her close and planted a soft kiss on her forehead." You look more beautiful in the morning and I want to wake up to your beautiful face every day from now on"They stared into each other's eyes as if sharing some unspoken vow between them. The bond between them was growing stronger by each passing second that both of them could even feel its intensity. Clara brought her hand and touched his hair, smoothing it with her hand," I love you, sky" she said.Skyler raised a brow,"Mm, sky?" He had a thoughtful look on his face. Clara nodded."I think I like it," he
The day of Landon's funeral finally came. Beta and his mate, Landon's family and a few friends, including Skyler and Clara were present at the cemetery. Soon after, the Coffin was lowered into the grave and those present started dropping their roses before dispersing. Clara walked up to Liam and gave him a few words of encouragement as well as an appreciation for saving her life.After the ceremony, Skyler drove them back to the pack house and parked his car, Clara and him stepped down at the same time and he went around the car to meet her, he drew her into his arms abd spoke into her ear." I'm sorry I can't accompany you this afternoon, I have something to deal with. I will let Aliyah know, she will serve you in my absence".Clara readily agreed, knowing he had a lot to do as the Alpha of the pack, he had already been spending too much time with her in the past two days without stepping out to attend to pack duties, she Appreciated every minutes they spent together but she couldn't
He continued kissing her while enjoying the sound of her moans, the feeling of her soft body as he ran his hand through her waistline. The tingling between her thighs gradually became very unbearable for Clara, making her cry out in frustration, the feeling of overwhelming sweetness traveled down her legs, making her legs become weak and she quickly held onto Skyler for support. As if knowing, Skyler suddenly picked her up and she quickly wrapped her legs around his waist. His hand came to settle under her butt. The smell of her arousal filled the room and also Skyler's senses, making his wolf run wild and threatening to take control, Skyler push him back and carried Clara back to the bedroom and lay her down on bed while continuing the kiss, only this time the kiss wasn't as soft as before but rather very demanding and filled with need. Clara felt his hot lips trace down to her jae and down her neck as he left trails of kisses all over. She moaned as he soothed every path of her ne
The next morning, Clara woke up to the smell of delicious food. She blinked twice before opening her eyes, the sight before her was very enticing, her Mate was standing bare cheated with a tray of food and a charming smile on his lips, his silver eyes shining ever so brightly. "Good morning, angel" he said, coming her way with the tray in his hands. Clara slowly sat up as her body ached all over from the sweet passion she had experienced. Skyler had made sweet love to her all through the night and she just couldn't get enough of him. She had never imagined love making to be so …so. Words fail her when it comes to describing how Skyler made her feel.Clara adjusted herself on the bed and Skyler dropped the tray of food on the bed. Pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs and a glass of fruit juice. Clara was ready to dig in but Skyler asked her to wait. She didn't know why but she obeyed him and did nothing.Skyler picked the cutlery and collected the food before bringing it to her mouth. Cla
Meanwhile, Skyler returned to the back to deal with paperwork that had piled up for the past few days. He locked himself in the office so he could focus more on work and avoid being disturbed by anyone. From time to time his thoughts will drift over to Clara who he had left in the wailing faeries. He hoped she would be able to accomplish her goals and even though he was quite uncomfortable with leaving her with his rival in love, Skyler wasn't worried because he trusted Clara and her love for him. For the few hours they have been apart from each other Skyler felt suffocated by her absence. He wondered how quickly his little princess had grown on him.Unlike most girls he had seen, Clara was rather very quiet, he also noticed how much of a loner she was, apart from her Mom and a few friends she had, there was nobody else around her. And knowing the circumstances in which she grew up, Skyler had a lot of pity for her. He had lost a parent when he was still very young and he knew how muc
Hours have passed and Clara has finally covered all the contents of the last book. She closed the book with a sigh leaving her lips. Standing up from her seat, Clara raised her hand and stretched herself before leaving the book behind and exiting the library. She made her way through the hallway and took the left stairs that led to the living room. On reaching there, she saw Melanie chatting with her grandma and the old lady's shoulders continued to rock from laughter. Clara stood at the door watching both banshees while being surprised by the fact that the old lady could actually laugh. Nimue had always portrayed aloofness and superiority but seeing her like this made Clara see her in a new light the Nimue before her was just a grandma enjoying the company of her grandchild.Clara felt a tad bit jealous just by looking at them. Although she was quite close to her foster mother, the moment they shared was always short because Flora was always very busy. And her biological mother was
Skyler had received Intel that a pack of rogues were wanting to settle on the freelands. Skyler and his pack warriors were going to stop them from settling in the free lands, Skyler didn't want to have another one of Annette's puppets walking freely or staying anywhere near the pack's territory. He walked out of the castle and made his way to the place where everyone was to assemble. On reaching there,the others were gathered and waiting for his arrival.Skyler's gaze traveled from one person to the other, making sure everyone present was fit to take part in the hunt, and then he noticed everyone was present except for Beta. "Where is beta?" He directed his question to isaac."At home, his mate isn't feeling too well," Isaac said. "Hmm" was all Skyler said."I hope everyone is ready?" He asked."Yes, Alpha" they said in unison."Good" "Desmond and Leon, you will wait outside to take down any rogue that tries to escape."Yes, Alpha""Myself and Isaac will attack and the rest of you
The Commotion continued and soon A dozen of werewolves barged into the hall with blood on their body Clara was shocked and taken aback by the sudden commotion. But then she raised her head and saw figures clouded in black clothes walking into the hall and muttering spells and her eyes widened.The witches had come to attack on the day for the ceremony. They dae everyone wasn't prepared. Fear gripped Clara as she stared at the damages the witch had caused in only a few minutes. Clara panicked because all her loved ones were here, her friends, mother, some banshee and werewolf from far and near. This was going to be a disaster.Skyler on the other hand was shocked as well. He didn't expect the witches to be so bold as to attack on the day of the ceremony. His instinct kicked in and his first thought was to protect Clara. He quickly grabbed Clara by the arm and wanted to take her out through the back door but the girl was stubborn enough to refuse."No, Skyler. I can't leave. This is my
Clara woke you the next morning and as usual, Skyler was nowhere in bed. Clara climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom to ease herself before making her way to the living room. Clara pushed the door and walked on the short passageway and on reaching the living room, Clara was met with a surprise. The living room was decorated with heart shaped balloons and glitters, photos of her taken unawares were plastered around the room, roses spread everywhere on the floor and on one side of the wall was the world" will you marry me" boldly written on it. Clara's hand flew to her mouth as she stared at the place and just then Skyler walked out from the side and knelt down Infront of her with a small box in his hand. "You have been everything to me. A friend and a mate and I wish to have you as a wife and not just a mate" he said with a smile.Tears clogged Clara's eyes as she stared in front of him. Clara stretched out her hand" I will marry you, Skyler. Yes, I will" she told and skyler put
Clara had forgotten about the world and all its problems, all she saw was Skyler and the love she had for him. They continued to gist about little things. Skyler told her little things about his childhood, his mother and the pack. He told her of the day he shifted for the first time and the kind of pain he had felt then. Clara listened to all of it and in turn, she told him all about her childhood, highschool and friends. Talking about her friends, Raya, Gina and Kyle made Clara realize how much she misses them. Although she remained in touch with them through calls and text, nothing could be compared to their presence. She had known them since first grade and now everyone had gone their separate ways due to their college choices. Clara hoped to reunite with them again and enjoy their presence like before.Skyler could see the longing in Clara's eyes as she talked about her friends. She missed them. Skyler hadn't seen Clara go too close to anyone whether in the pack or in the banshee
Clara woke up to the beautiful daylight, last night she had slept with so much in her mind but waking up this morning, she felt things were a little better. She didn't resent Mira as much as she did yesterday. The lady had helped her in some way and that could be counted as paying off her guilt but still, she wasn't ready to see her or speak with her. Clara decided to let her suffer for just a little bit before she would set things straight between them. Clara yawned and stretched body on the bed but she felt a heavy hand on her waist. She turned around and was met with the sleeping Skyler, he was bare chest and his hair fell over some part of his face. His lips were slightly patted. Clara savored the sight in front of her as there was only a few times when she had woken up before him.As the day went by, Clara found herself falling deeper In love with him. Clara raised her hand and removed the strand of hair from his face and then she traced her fingers along his thin red lips."Have
Clara made her way to the living room where Nimue was waiting for her, by the time she got there only Nimue was seated in the living room and Melanie was gone.Nimue, what is it that you want to discuss with me?." Clara asked, making Nimue turn in her direction."Yes, sit down please," Nimue said. Ankara went to take her seat opposite her and listened attentively.Nimue took out the big brown envelope containing some documents and handed it over to Clara. Clara collected the envelope and stared at it before looking back at Nimue who gave her a Go-Ahead.Clara unsealed the envelope and brought out the documents, at first she didn't understand it until nimue started to explain."They are the deeds of ownership of this Mansion; the mansion belonged to the Shayne's. It was your mother's and now it should be yours. My family is only a caretaker like we have been for centuries" Nimue said.Character that the documents in disbelief" are you sure it's okay to own this?" she asked."Yes it's y
Clara continued being pampered by her mate. Clara had remained in bed for the past three days. Skyler would fix a bath for her and feed her and in the evening time, he would take her for a walk in the pack. Clara had wanted to go to the banshee mansion to deal with some things but Skyler didn't let her out of sight. He would nag Clara for leaving her bed when she was supposed to be sleeping. Clara enjoyed the pampering she was getting but then, she was bored to stay in the quarters all the time. The pack warriors who she helped break their curses also came with their families to show appreciation. Clara was a lot closer to the pack people now. She had also tried to speak with Pius but the man was cold as ever. During the week, Clara visited the welfare center but Skyler didn't let her stay for too long, she just delivered the lunch and gift and they were on their way back to the pack house. By the end of the week, Clara became fed up with the pampering and decided it must stop.Clara
Evening shadows deepened into blue and purple and the sky had turned to molten brass. The atmosphere was lighter as usual since calm has been restored back to the pack again. Skyler sat near his mate and waited for her to wake up, she had been sleeping for hours now. Skyler wondered how exhausted she must have been for these past few days and felt sorry for her as he was one of the reasons he had been stressed to this level. Some walked into the room and saw Skyler sitting next to his mate but Skyler looked tired as well." Alpha" the person called, making skyler turn to look in the direction where the voice came from."Lucas, why are you still here?" Skyler asked."I needed to make sure the warriors are alright," Lucas replied."Is everything alright with them?" Skyler asked."Yes, the doctor had examined them and they're good to go," Lucas told him."That's good to know,I'm relieved" Skyler said with a nod.How is she?" Lucas asked. Skyler turned his head to look at the sleeping Cl
"Alright, we will be waiting for you, we have so much to talk about" Nimue said. The ladies left the room and Clara followed them down to the car and saw them off. She watch Mira who was all curled up in the back and sighed.Soon after Skyler came back dressed in casual clothes and Lucas was trailing behind. He looked handsome as ever but Clara also could see the sadness in his eyes.Wait here, while I go bring the car" Lucas said to them before leaving.How are you holding up?" She asked Skyler who was unusually quiet. He turned to her" I'm trying to hold on as much as I can. I hurt my pack and I hurt you. It's it's.." he let out a sigh. Clara patted his shoulders" calm down, sky. You'd be surprised what ove can do and I know the pack loves you" Clara said to him.Lucas brought the car to the front of the pack house and Clara and her mate climb in. Skyler sat in the front passenger seat while Clara was at the back. Clara knew Skyler was supposed to rest after everything he had gone t
Silieus mietr anri kpocus"Silieus mietr anri kpocus"Both of them kept repeating the word and Clara felt a strange weave of power pass through her body and the sudden change in the room atmosphere. The wind blew through the ladies' hair meanwhile the candle lights were burning ever so brightly and on the other hand, the symbol on the floor had started to move and was now forming into a straight line. The witches continued with the chants and the line dissolved again before forming a pentacle. At the same time, Skyler's bleeding wrist was healing and his eyes had returned to normal.Skyler felt a heavy load leave his body and his senses returned, looking sideways,he saw Clara with another girl, one look at the girl, he already could tell she was a witch and what is a witch doing in the pack house and why is Clara with her?. These were the first thoughts that came to Skyler's mind."Clara?. What's going on?". Skyler voiced out.On hearing the familiar voice, Clara opened her eyes and h
